Uns fürchtet nur das Unbekannte #[nn]

Moritz Stetter's Uns fürchtet nur das Unbekannte — Chronik eines Kulturschocks announces itself as a graphic travelogue right on its cover, where a bespectacled figure absorbed in a notebook stands at the center of a swirling collage of Indian life: the Taj Mahal, a tuk-tuk weaving through cyclists, a giant mosquito, a deity, street signs in Hindi, and a woman holding a "Stop Violence" placard. The warm ochre palette and loose, energetic linework — all by Stetter — give the whole scene the feel of a sketchbook bursting at its seams with impressions gathered on the road. Published in 2019 by Jaja Verlag, this German-language work promises an honest, visually rich reckoning with the exhilarating disorientation of stepping into the unfamiliar.
